Support Groups in New York

Manhattan
All are welcome to the Mom's Coffee support group the first Wednesday of every month at 9:45am in Manhattan. Gatherings are casual and centered around the challenges brought on by a loved one with juvenile diabetes. Whether you are a mom or dad with a child with juvenile diabetes, or are concerned about a close friend with juvenile diabetes, please join us. If you would like to attend an upcoming meeting or for more information, please contact Alka at singh_alka2@yahoo.com.

Parents of Diabetics
Parents of Diabetics (www.parentsofdiabetics.com) is for families in western New York. They hold a meeting or educational forum monthly at various locations and try to provide venues so that the young people with Diabetes can interact with each other, and so that their families can do the same. We try our best to make all the events affordable, if not completely free. Our monthly meetings are always free: we charge no dues. For more information, or to attend our next meeting, just call the Western NY chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at (716) 833-2873.
